2 thoughts on “Ruth Beechick on Teaching”

This is a welcome reminder after a difficult day: kids didn’t get excited about the activities I thought would be fun, professional work is going badly and, suddenly, we end the day with one of them overnight in the hospital!

I probably won’t write a blog post for today. I guess it could be useful for other parents to see that this is real life, but I don’t see clearly anything specific worth sharing, and maybe don’t have the energy to find it.

Oh, my! I hope the young one is okay, and that you all get a bit of a respite over the weekend.
On bad days, I remind myself that kids are by nature resilient, and there’s really very little I can do to ruin them. As long as they know they are loved, and as long as I provide access to good books and other educational opportunities, they will grow and learn in spite of my failings.
